In a beginning,

end comes along as a shadow.

In an end,

A beginning hides within.

Playing thus with each other only

Giving the impression

For us they are!

Companions seeking no another

We remain catching one or the other

In a sport the two play

A cycle of life….

Completing itself.

At every beginning and end,

With us feeling elated and dejected,

Their game culminates,

The tournament continues.

And we – falsely attribute

it as our beginning and end!
